Sunday Evangelium - Totus2us

Fr Andrew: "After years of studying what Aquinas wrote about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, I have concluded tentatively that the best way of thinking about what they do is that they help to remove a condition that we are all born with, namely our spiritual autism. It is only by these gifts of grace that we can enjoy a supernatural life in which we are moved by God, as by a second person, and we can come to know and love the Persons of God. Perhaps this is why Trinity comes after the celebration of Pentecost. So, in conclusion, human reason can help to clear away erroneous conceptions of the Trinity, and it is also possible to trace the fruits of the Trinity for our civilisation, but to know the Holy Trinity personally we need ourselves to become holy."
